DANNY Boyle has confirmed he quit Bond 25 after a script dispute with the movie producers.

The director revealed that bosses weren’t impressed with the screenplay he had been working on with his regular collaborator John Hodge but he refused to work with another writer.

Replying to a reader question in Empire magazine, he wrote: “I work in partnership with writers and I am not prepared to break it up … We were working very, very well, but they didn’t want to go down that route with us. So we decided to part company.

“What John Hodge and I were doing, I thought, was really good. It wasn’t finished, but it could have been really good … You have to believe in your process and part of that is the partnership I have with a writer.”

He did not comment on the exact nature of the disagreement because he felt it was “unfair” on director Cary Fukunaga, who has replaced him.
